Let Go And Let GodPutting the Needs of Others FirstThe ideaof “Putting the Needs of Others First” sounds simple enough, but it proves to be morechallenging than we expect. In today’s fast-paced world, many people follow the rule of “Puttingthe Needs ofMeFirst.” This is not the Christian way, and acting this way does not please ourLord. “Putting the Needs of Others First” is one of God's commands, and there are good reasonsfor it.

Let Go And Let GodWhy We Must ForgiveWhen Jesus walked the earth and preached, he spoke about love–the need to love our God, love one another, and love ourselves. Next, he talked about forgiveness. Forgiveness is a vital part of our Christian faith. Unfortunately, many of us hold grudges against others who may have harmed us in some way. As Christians, we are obligated to forgive anyone who may have hurt or harmed us, but we are not required to take that person back into our lives unless we choose to.

Let Go And Let GodGreed Is Not Good!When it comes to greed, it seems that no matter how much a person has, it is never enough; they always want more. Those who genuinely believe that owning the most expensive home, driving the most luxurious car, and wearing only designer clothes made from the finest materials equate to success and bestow a sense of power are mistaken. True happiness is achieved only when we are loved and appreciated for who we are, and most importantly, blessed by our Lord.

Let Go And Let GodDrop the Ego (Special Guest: Dr. Dale Caldwell, President of Centenary University)Each of us will achieve many accomplishments in our lives. When we accomplish something, it’s perfectly fine to feel happy, but first, we must thank the Lord because everything we achieve in this life would not have been possible without the Lord granting us life and blessing us with the unique qualities that define us. Before we allow pride to take over, we need to “Drop the Ego." In the Christian community, there is no room for conceit, vanity, or for placing ourselves above others, believing we are superior to them. Tune into this episode to hear Art expl...2025-07-0228 min

Let Go And Let GodWe Are All BlessedMost of us, while navigating our daily lives, tend to concentrate on what we want, what we lack, and what others possess that we do not. We rarely, if ever, consider what we have; worse yet, we neglect to thank the Lord. We all have many reasons to be grateful, yet we allow our minds to dwell on negative thoughts about our deficiencies and overlook the importance of appreciating what we do possess. Truth be known, "We Are All Blessed.” Tune into this episode and let Art explain how, when we are grateful for what we have and thank th...2025-06-2528 min

Let Go And Let GodJesus Watches Us All the Time (Special Guest: Diane Foley, President of the James W. Foley Foundation )Jesus is always there for us 24/7, and we can reach out to Him through prayer anytime we wantabout anything on our minds. He also watches over us throughout every day of our lives.

Let Go And Let GodWith Difficulty, There’s Opportunity!All of us face difficulties in our lives. The truth is, we are meant to experience challenges. It is how we strengthen ourselves, and in many ways, it’s also how we strengthen our faith. However, what we don’t typically see is that “with difficulty, there’s opportunity” because we focus strictly on our challenges, often missing the bigger picture. When faced with difficulty, we should reach out to Jesus through prayer. When we pray and share with Him what troubles us, He goes to work behind the scenes, and without our realizing it, we find unexpected opportunities. Tune into...2025-06-1128 min

Let Go And Let GodDon’t Just Pray, Believe!As Christians, we have all been blessed with a magnificent tool to use, and that tool is prayer. But just like any tool, we have to use it properly, or it will not work. We hear too often people saying things like, “Oh my prayers are never heard,” or “I tried praying, but it was just a waste of time.” We must ensure our prayers are heard—not by yelling, but by being 100% focused on what we are praying for and, most importantly, believing it can and will happen. Tune into this episode and let Art share with you how to pra...2025-06-0428 min

Let Go And Let GodMake Today Matter!Too many of us get so caught up in the day-to-day routine that we never take a moment to appreciate the gift of life that the Lord has given us. We wake up, race to work, put in a full day, race home, have dinner, maybe rest for a short while, head to bed, and start the next day over in exactly the same way. The truth is, one thing is seriously lacking: we don’t enjoy our lives; we simply live our lives. Tune into this podcast as Art shares how we can get much more out of ou...2025-05-2128 min

Let Go And Let GodWhy Family Is Necessary (Special Guest: Edgar Sandoval, CEO of World Vision)Each of us enters this world with a mother and a father, and many of us have siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Let Go And Let GodWe Are Not to JudgeWe all have moments when we make judgments about others. We assess how someone is dressed, how they behave, what kind of car they drive, and other superficial aspects. While this tendency might seem minor, it often escalates when we share those judgments with others, which quickly turns into gossip. Both judging and gossiping are not only inappropriate but also contrary to Christian values. The key point is that there is only one true judge, and that is our Lord. In this episode, Art explains why we tend to judge others and how we can learn to accept people...2025-05-0728 min

Let Go And Let GodDealing With DoubtsAs humans, we all have doubts. We doubt ourselves, we doubt others, and at times, we doubt our faith.

Tune into this podcast and let Art share with you how, as Christians, we can eliminate our doubts by turning to Jesus through prayer. Even when we doubt our faith, Jesus is there to help.

Let Go And Let GodPracticing Do-It-Yourself Religion (Special Guest: Bishop Michael Saporito)Being a Christian is not an easy path; it is a choice we consciously make. Once we make that choice, we are obligated to follow the laws and commands of God. If we only follow certain laws and commands that suit us, we risk practicing a “Do-It-Yourself” religion. Unfortunately, our Lord does not recognize those who take this approach as true Christians. Tune in to this episode of “Let Go and Let God” to understand why it is crucial to avoid “Do-It-Yourself” religion and to learn how simple it can be to stay on the right path.

Let Go And Let GodOvercoming TemptationIn today’s busy world, we face numerous temptations that can be overwhelming. The moment we go online, we can easily access websites related to gambling, pornography, and opportunities to cheat on our spouses.

Let Go And Let GodWorry Less, Pray MoreWe all experience moments of worry. Some people worry very little, while others worry quite a lot. Worry is an emotion, and it can be challenging to manage. Whether you are concerned about an important job review or whether your mortgage refinancing will be approved, those who tend to worry often find themselves unable to stop unless they learn to "Worry Less, Pray More." Instead of letting worry take over, if we channel that same energy into prayer, we can feel empowered with confidence instead of fear as we seek solutions to our concerns.

Let Go And Let GodHolding On to the GrudgeThroughout our lives, we’ve all heard stories of individuals who went to their graves refusing to forgive a relative or friend for the wrongs done to them.

But what should we do when we are faced with painful situations and struggle to find forgiveness in our hearts? In this podcast, Art will share solutions for letting go when it...2025-03-1928 min

Let Go And Let GodWhen We Feel AloneLoneliness is a challenging emotion to navigate. When it is temporary, we typically move on without giving it much thought. However, when loneliness lasts for an extended period, it becomes much harder to cope with. We may feel lonely for various reasons, such as living alone, losing a spouse, or relocating without family or friends nearby. Regardless of the cause, the feeling is the same: a deep sense of loneliness and sadness. In these times of loneliness, we have a choice: we can either succumb to our feelings, which will only worsen our situation, or we can turn to...2025-03-1228 min

Let Go And Let GodGiving Into GossipWhat brings enjoyment from hearing unkind words about others? We chuckle at stories about the overweight janitor whose pants are always too tight. We laugh at comments about the secretary with a very dated hairstyle, and we smirk when we hear about the teacher who comes to class every day dressed in the same suit. Why? Because we are “Giving into Gossip.” What’s sad is that gossip can be fun and entertaining for many. But there’s something we all need to remember about gossip: it’s wrong. Moreover, gossip is something we, as Christians, should never engage in because...2025-03-0528 min

Let Go And Let GodDo As I Say, Not AS I DoWe have all heard the saying, “Do as I do, not as I say,” from many people, including teachers, doctors, family members, and friends, often with good intentions. They want us to do things correctly, even though they may not follow the same advice themselves. For instance, it’s acceptable when a piano teacher demonstrates the correct fingering for a musical passage, even if they occasionally struggle with it themselves. Similarly, it’s understandable when a doctor advises us to lose a few pounds, despite knowing that he might need to lose more weight than we do. However, in the Chri...2025-01-0828 min
